SwiftOnSecurityOne of the biggest security expertise redpills is this is unironically a good idea and the time spent making fun of it was ill-advised for most users whose physical security threat is not a factor in comparison.
echarlie@SwiftOnSecurity my best argument for this---besides it being low-tech and physical security considerations being moot: when you die, someone can get into your accounts this way. Which for older and less tech-savvy people is actually really helpful.
Hein Ragas@notecharlie @SwiftOnSecurity That reminds me, I really need to write down how someone could access all of my stuff if anything ever happens to me. Physical access to my machine and phone won't be a problem for them after I'm gone anyway.
A random selectionUgh also true and such a “low-tech” great solution.
Fox Trenton 🎱For daily use I have KeePassXC and KeePassDX which are not stored with some cloud service, but on computer/tablet, thumbdrive backups, etc.
That said, however, I have two small Rite in the Rain No. 77 waterproof notebooks, that contain the most important ones for just that purpose.
My spouse knows about it and what to do with it, even if not tech savvy, and my close ones (especially the ones that do not pale at being faced with a Veracrypt log in screen) do, as well.
the hatter@notecharlie @SwiftOnSecurity Those people are the ones most likely to have untrustworthy carers in their lives though, and least likely to notice when the underpaid professional carer or selfish relative/neighbour has spotted the book. They're good for actually unimportant passwords, but then someone's amazoning themselves expensive gifts and no one notices for months, even if your actual bank login details aren't written down.
